Bring left and right corners together above the filling.

Overlap the tips of these corners, moisten with water and press together.

Place completed wrapper on the corn-starch platter and continue till all wrappers are used.

Deep fry wontons in batches till golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Thaw before frying, but they can be boiled straight from frozen and cooked 2 minutes longer.
